Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between degree and grad units?
Degrees divide a circle into 360 parts, while grads split it into 400 parts, offering a decimal system for angle measurement.

Why convert degrees to grads?
Converting to grads provides a decimal-based subdivision of angles which simplifies calculations in surveying, geodesy, and engineering.

Can I use this converter for navigation purposes?
Yes, since degrees are standard for navigation, this converter helps switch to grads when needed for specific engineering or surveying applications.

Key Terminology

Degree [°]
A unit of plane angle equal to 1/360 of a full circle, used for measuring angular separation and orientation.
Grad [^g]
An angle unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, commonly used in surveying and civil engineering to provide decimal subdivisions.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to convert degree measurements to grads: 1 degree equals approximately 1.111111111 grads.
